Man charged after 3 people found dead in Burns Lake, B.C., home: police

BURNS LAKE, B.C. – Three counts of second-degree murder have now been laid against a 54-year-old man from north-central British Columbia.

RCMP Cpl. Dave Tyreman says in a news release that police responded Monday morning to a call of foul play and found one woman and two men dead inside a residence in Burns Lake.

He says police believe the incident is isolated and that the public is not at risk.

Tyreman says local resident Rueben Buhler will appear in provincial court Wednesday on the charges.

The names of the three dead have not yet been released by police.

RCMP officers from four different units were helping Burns Lake Mounties in the investigation.

Burns Lake is located about 1,000 kilometres north of Vancouver.
